Heatmaps Part4

Problem this snippet solves:

The final installment of the HeatMaps tech tip series, here is the completed project. A this stage you can view the entire world map, zoom to different regions, sort by URI, and you even get a readout of the actual numbers that are driving the maps being generated so you can tell exactly how many requests per region you're getting to each URI in question. Full tech tip here

Code :

when RULE_INIT {
##  Configure static portions of the HTML response for the heatmap pages
  set static::resp1 "<HTML><table width='100%' border='0'><tr><td></td><td><center><font size=5>Here is your site's usage:\
</font></td></tr><tr><td align='center' rowspan='5'><b><u>Connections per Region:</u></b>"
  set static::resp2  "</td><td><center><img src='http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?cht=t&chd=&chs=440x220&chtm="
  set static::resp3 "&chco=f5f5f5,edf0d4,6c9642,365e24,13390a' border='0'></center></td></tr><td><center>Zoom to region:\
 <a href='/asia'>Asia</a> | <a href='/africa'>Africa</a> | <a href='/europe'>Europe</a> | <a href='/middle_east'>Middle East</a> | \
<a href='/south_america'>South America</a> | <a href='/usa'>United States</a> | <a href='/heatmap'>World</a></td></tr><tr><td><center>"

    Hi Colin, i have created an irule with tables and that is working fine on VE. but i installed this irule on an viprion and when i ask the information of the table with an other irule, this irule persent the information in an website, i don't see the table information. do you have any idea?
